While many businesses are trying to plot their path towards the cloud, iland is looking to help customers evolve beyond the status quo. A few years ago, iland started down the path of creating a revolutionary new cloud platform. The iland cloud was designed with a focus on providing not only a feature rich interface, but one that could rapidly adapt to offering new services.

In the latest release of the iland ECS Management Console, we focused on the needs of our customers around advanced security and compliance reporting delivered with a modern design focused on user experience. As part of the advanced security features, we added new roles and permissions, two-factor authentication, vulnerability scanning, and VM encryption. We also added a number of new reports around compliance including additional event logging, anti-virus and malware scanning, integrity monitoring, and several other deeper security monitoring tools.

While that was the main focus of the release, we are always looking to address some of the lesser known issues that are sometimes difficult to solve. These issues take some ingenuity to find a creative solution.

VMworld brings together industry leaders, and IT professionals to immerse themselves in the latest in virtualization and cloud technology. It is an exciting time to be a part a core group of companies that are leading the way in revolutionizing the future of cloud computing in IaaS and DRaaS.

Cisco is reporting that by 2018, more than three quarters (78 percent) of workloads will be processed by cloud data centers. These cloud workloads will nearly triple (2.9-fold) from 2013 to 2018. With so many businesses projected to move their infrastructures to the cloud over the next few years, who will ultimately determine how these companies operate, and manage their infrastructure? Will they be forced down a path to meet the model of the service providers, or will their cloud be open and flexible enough to allow them to determine how they run their own business?
